Additional Info
Appearance Tall and lanky with thinning brown hair, he wears a greasy leather apron from his work in the kitchen, talks fast and comes across as always agitated (nasally voice) Voice/Mannerisms A fast, nasally voice. He is often agitated and avoids eye contact. Bond His employment with the Scarlet Brotherhood, disguised as a merchant. Ideal Information is power. He believes that knowledge and influence are more powerful than brute force. Flaw He is easily agitated and can become paranoid if his cover is threatened. Info A regional representative of the Scarlet Brotherhood, he works with Simon Accord in Grenvik to manage trade along the Cardum, Bexley, to Grenvik & Oleg Keep road. Thriven under his covername Aldous has been carefully building trade alliances with some of the local rulers. As a merchant he has expanded his market and political influence by seemingly always being able to find the common items (a measly 15% markup) but also the less savory - specifically slaves and alcohol. He uses his relationship and reputation to gain local court insights which he sends back to the Scarlet Brotherhood.
He buys and sells slaves from both the Xobzag of the Rippers and Erferil of the Red Company.
Aldous is married to Margarete, a nagging, and outlandish character of some ill repute of her own. She knows of his slave dealings but not the fact his true name is Thriven or he's a member of the Scarlet Brotherhood. Equipment Leather armor, shortsword, hand crossbow, thieves' tools
